DJ ROLANDO should need no introduction what so ever but here is a cut down version of his biog:
Though he’s one of the later recruits to Detroit’s Underground Resistance family, DJ Rolando (aka the Aztec Mystic) became one of the most important figures in the UR organization after two releases: his Aztec Mystic Mix, which compiled all of the label’s brightest tracks in a stunning compilation; and his “Jaguar” single, a leftfield dance hit that became a flashpoint for UR’s anti-major label stance. Raised in Mexicantown (right next to the Ambassador Bridge on Detroit’s southwest side), Rolando grew up mixing the freestyle and hip-hop that was common currency around the area.
A friend introduced him to “Mad” Mike Banks, the leader of Underground Resistance and one of the primary figures in Motor City techno.
In early 1999, “Jaguar” had gained so much attention that Sony Germany attempted a tone-for-tone trance remake of the track for potential chart entry and inclusion on DJ albums.
Underground Resistance immediately organized an uprising of record-store owners, techno purists, and underground DJs worldwide to protest the recording and boycott its release. Even while another megalabel, BMG, considered doing the same thing, Sony backed down and pulled the single. UR responded with Revenge of the Jaguar: The Mixes, an EP with remixes by Detroit figures Jeff Mills and Octave One as well as Banks himself.
